The collaborative environment of the NIH Clinical Center makes it possible for our doctors and researchers to make referrals for immediate testing and confer with peers across research interests to come up with the best approach for diagnosing and treating patients. The freedoms that the NIH Clinical Center affords encourage clinician-scientists to stretch their imagination and pursue the ideas that may lead to a medical discovery.

NIH Clinical Center: We provide hope through pioneering clinical research to improve human health.

12/24/2025

Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development are doing a study to follow people diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and see how estrogen/progesterone or Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) affects their health. POI is a rare condition where women under 40 experience irregular or absent menstrual cycles.

If you are female ages 11-19 with or without POI, consider joining this study. If you have POI, you will receive HRT treatment and help us better understand how it may improve overall health for those with POI. Interested in learning more or participating? Contact us for details! 866-444-8810, ccopr@nih.gov. Refer to research study #002141-CH go.nih.gov/002141CH

📢 Attention: Do you have Mesothelioma or a solid tumor that returned or spread after standard of care treatment? 💙

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma in the United States each year. This number has been relatively stable in recent years. 🌟

🏥 NIH researchers, led by Dr. Raffitt Hassan, are developing a new investigational treatment that collects a person's immune cells (T cells); the T cells are genetically modified to target and kill tumor cells with high levels of mesothelin (MSLN). The goal of this research study is to learn if this investigational treatment at a safe dose can potentially shrink tumors.
